1985 revision
Matt Cohen, surveyor
One of the finest examples of the Bungalow style in the district, this house
occupies a prime lot facing Cooper Park, and was clearly built as part of a
pair along with 412 S. 6th Ave. next to it, which is very similar. Both
houses, characterized by bold ornamentation such as battered porch columns ,
and window and door surrounds, are unique in the district, but are similar to
several Bungalows found in the Tracy-Black Historic District.
The original owner was likely Stewart C. Lovelace, Secretary-Treasurer of
the Lovelace Grocery Co. (see 612 E. Main) . Lovelace, and his wife, Eva
Lovelace, is listed at this address in the 1916-17 and 1927 city directories.
